Hi, first I want to thank you for this instance.

Compuverse.uk seemed to be down for me for multiple weeks, since somewhere at the beginning of October/end of September.

I was getting no server answers from a cloudflare page.

Now I randomly checked the instance, and it’s back up. Not sure from when.

Was there an issue with a cloudflare configuration or something else?

    Hi, thanks for your support of Compuverse.

    I have just posted an announcement regarding this downtime and aim to improve things for future.

    We came back online after resolving the host issues a couple of days ago.

    I am so pleased to see compuverse back.

    But there seems to be federation issues. I don’t think we’ve been defederated but comments and votes aren’t federating properly?

      I am investigating federation issues.

      Do you have any exact examples which I could use as a starting point to investigate this please?

      They would be greatly appreciated :)

      Thanks,

      Cameron

        Hi

        For example the Avelon community has a lower number of comments and votes than when I look at it from a different instance

        This post https://lemmy.world/post/6717293 has a score of 72 when viewed with an account on lemmy.world but only 5 when viewed with an account on compuverse. Also most of the comments are missing

        Thanks for looking into it 🙂

          Hi @Flipflop@compuverse.uk,

          I think the issue here is likely that any activity that occurred in the rest of the Lemmyverse whilst this instance was offline was never federated to us, so this instance doesn’t know about the comments or which were posted before it came back online etc.

          This will be problematic right now since lots of active threads will have been created or had comments and votes prior to this instance coming back online, but I believe any new content should come through correctly.

    I was worried Compuverse would never be up again. That would’ve been the second time my Lemmy account got lost forever because an instance went down without notice. Feels good to be back
